Join Heidi, and her band, for a 75minute Kirtan.
This event is open to everyone – families, friends young and old with attendance by donation with money raised going to Christ Church Mission’s Community Centre (St Kilda’s Little Mission) . Come and experience this beautiful offering, join in or sit back and take it all in! No experience necessary.
What is Kirtan?
Kirtan (Keer-tahn) is a part of an ancient form of Yoga called Bhakti Yoga. Together as a group, Heidi and her band lead a call and response chant and we repeat the mantra over and over many times, often changing in tempo (sometimes very fast!) to invoke the essence of the particular Deity we are singing to. These chants have been sung for millennium by Sages, Sinners, Devotees and Yogis from all over the World.
Kirtan is for all people! Young and old. Big and small. There is no right or wrong. No expectations and no inhibitions. Don’t worry what you sound like, just bring your open heart!
What to expect:
• Sankrit mantras chanted many times to evoke the essence of the Deity we are chanting to
• An ecstatic and meditative experience of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion)
• Singing, clapping, dancing, connection
